Personal Narrative: My Experience At Loyola University

During my two last years of high school, i've been in contact with a lot of colleges and universities. Many of which don’t get my attention. Throughout my whole high school years, there was only one college that i wanted to go to, Liberty University. I have heard so many wonderful things about Liberty and what i loved the most was that it was a christian school. Liberty had the number one thing that i am looking for in a college, that is a christian school, but many of my other things that i look for in a college where just not there. I used to live in Florida approximately 11 years ago and let me tell you, it's hard not to miss the sunshine state. Liberty is in Virginia, a state where it doesn't feel like home. When i received a brochure

It is Sunday morning in Miami, but for me today is a new beginning where my independence start and I can use my time wisely. Therefore, I decided to travel to the beach, with the windows down having the wind run through my hair and having my favorite song "Independent Woman" play on the radio. The sound of the waves of the ocean it was incredible and peacefully, which reminds me of the feeling of comfort when I am sitting on Brandon. Another example why Brandon is important in my life, it is because, during high school, I spent plenty of time waiting for the bus to travel to work and home, and in today's day time is valuable. However, I lost time being incapable of buying me a car. Missing the bus plenty of times and having to count on my friend

HELLO GUYS!!! I have something veryyyyyyyy important to tell you! After all of my stressing about FAFSA ( Free Application Federal Student Aid) , Colleges, and Transportation, I decided to further my education at Rowan University. It took me a long time to make this decision because this wasn’t my first choice! My first choice/ dream school was LIU Brooklyn ( Long Island University) in Brooklyn, New York. I was recently accepted there and planned on attending there, but their out-of-state tuition was extremely high! Their tuition was $33,000 a year and poor black man like myself, cannot afford it. I really loved LIU because it's a great school, beautiful campus, and most of all, it's in New York. I had my whole planned before it even started,

Wilmington started out as home, then became just a vacation. After years of moving and resisting the pull to move back, I finally made the best and brightest decision I think I have ever made. I am moving home, and in the process, I thought there would be no better place to further my education than The University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I have recently taken a year off in between high school and pursuing my college education, and frankly, I think it has been one of the most humbling experiences of my life. I have learned to appreciate everything that was taught by my parents and the schooling I have received. In that year I took part in America's workforce constantly facing the struggles of being independent and caring for myself,

During my visit to Arizona State University this summer, I was able to receive a unique tour of the campus thanks to current students, Claire and Maddie Grayson. The two sisters granted special access into some student-only buildings, and provided a great amount of information about the campus as well. Maddie, Claire, and Glenn Markov, a former ASU student and now current Stanford attendee, were also able to answer any questions that that I had regarding ASU.

A great impact that I witnessed that year is when I took the school field trip to numerous colleges close to the city. I had never been to a university or even a community college. Therefore, me going to those visit gave me a greater idea on what type of college I'd like to attend. One of the colleges I remembered we toured to was Lakeland Community College. I really liked the aspects that it has, with the classrooms even the on campus living. Taking trip like that sets your mind up but also prepares you to know what to expect and look for when you are college searching.

When I think about my legacy at The University of Missouri, I think I will always think back to the tough times I am experiencing right now at Mizzou. I see many people around campus and how much they seem to love Mizzou. I desire every day to be like the people who love Mizzou. Through my first few weeks and challenges I am starting to realize that Mizzou takes time. They say all great things take time. The University of Missouri is teaching me patience, perseverance, and responsibility and the great part is, I think every year Mizzou will teach me something new depending on the spot in life I’m in.

My time at Michigan State University, so far, has been more than I could have hoped for. I’ve celebrated personal and academic victories. I’ve had the opportunity to attend every home football game with the Spartan Marching Band. Attended a victorious B1G Ten Championship game. Attended the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl and have more friends than any other time in my life. While sometimes it can be stressful to be a college student—managing due dates, social events, working, and maintaining focus away from Facebook and my phone—having a major I’m actually interested in, makes it all a lot easier. I have friends who, in my opinion, should not have the major they do. They hate all their classes, both pre-requisite and their actual major classes. To me, it seems a little ridiculous to continue spending money and time on an education in something you clearly have no interest in, not to mention planning for a career in the same field.

As I took the LASSI, I was comparing my educational experience at UCSB and currently at USC. I know that if I would have taken the LASSI while being an undergrad at UCSB plenty of those percentages would be on the lower end. There are various reasons for this; all revolving around my experience being a first-generation college student. When I first started UCSB, I met my first friends who were from a different culture and race. Prior to UCSB, my only knowledge about Asian and white people came from the media and my friends’ experiences. Moreover, much of my knowledge was negative and when I went to UCSB I unconsciously chose to hang out with those who looked like me. Nevertheless, I quickly learned that what I had seen and heard prior to UCSB

I had never had to cling to God as hard as I did this year, despite my Christian upbringing, and that I have been pursuing Him my whole life. In the throes of my deepest and most personal challenges, every prayer that was said was gut wrenching, tear filled, and heartfelt. I was in misery. You know what though? It was beautiful. God was clinging so hard back. He always is, but to be brought to a place where you can feel His embrace so tightly and so clearly is to feel true beauty and joy amid life’s inevitable pain. It is a holy honor. To be completely and totally honest with you, my experience with Campbellsville University was pretty much a girly Christian college cliché. I met the man of my dreams, and I had my “ring by spring.” We are now

Although I was elated by my successful perseverance, there was no doubt that I was entering USC with a chip on my shoulder. However, despite the consistent dedication that my business undergraduate studies have thus far required, what I have perhaps most gleaned from my time at USC is a strong sense of community. Coming from a high school with an unsurprisingly dry school spirit, I was very eager and excited for the sense of pride that comes with being part of the Trojan Family. Not surprisingly, an immediate tradition of attending football games together was created with friends from the Southside freshman dorms—a tradition that to date has not been broken. The friendships I have created with these friends have continuously grown over the

Since the day I first talked with Josh D’Amico, I felt glad that finally, I have found the place where I always wanted to be. I had always dreamed for a small school with an outstanding faculty and tons of opportunity to explore and learn, and finally I am happy that my dream is going to be true. I find Mount Mercy as a perfect fit for me.

As a child of the 2000s and 2010s, President Barack Obama has been a constant in my turbulent time of adolescence. He was elected the day after my tenth birthday and has now left office shortly after my eighteenth. Though it may seem audacious to compare myself to the (now former) leader of the free world, he and I currently face similar stages of our lives. We’re both in periods of transition. As he has left his home and career, I prepare to do the same. In June, I’ll graduate and leave the world of free, public education forever. In August, I leave Virginia Beach, the only home I’ve ever known, to start the next chapter of my life at Duke University. At such a pivotal point in my life, it only seems fitting to have a chat with someone who has been an incredible role model for both me and the nation.

I have been thinking about my goals since a long time and here I am in Canada in George Brown College. I never thought I would end up in completely new place, new people and a new culture which has been life changing for me in a good way. I had a clear plan in my mind before enrolling for this course and when I arrived here I could actually implement it.

As Indiana University is rich due to diversity, culture, and experience. I would describe myself rich as I am grateful for the experiences through community service. I do a lot of community service through 4-H as I have been a member for ten years. I have also been given the opportunity to be a camp counselor during the summer. Being able to be a camp counselor is one of the achievement given to me as I have to do paperwork and go through an interview process. My most important contribution to my community through service is being apart of Junior leader in 4-H. This group is made up of teens who help and fundraise to help the community. For example, we sold peanuts from Texas Roadhouse that were given to us to sponsor two children in the community
